In 2005, the game [[wikipedia:Brain Age: Train Your Brain in Minutes a Day!|Brain Age: Train Your Brain in Minutes a Day!]] was released, and the developers tried basing the game selection on it, such as separating [[Rhythm Games]] by genre, and setting up a progression test.

Over 20 different games were [[List of Scrapped Rhythm Games|removed]] from the final game, most of which are only known by their titles, though some have leftover sound effects.

There was a rhythm game in which you "strike" things with the movement of the stick.

Towards the end of development at the beginning of 2006, the [[wikipedia:Nintendo DS|Nintendo DS]] became a huge hit, so the staff revisited the idea of a DS version of the game.

However, it would take a long time to port the Game Boy Advance version, which was almost completed, and on the other hand, the game included previously unreleased songs sung by Ami Tokito-san and Soshi Kurei-san, so we wondered if we should delay the release too much.
